 The World Starts With You! May 14, 2008

I was like the many who were not too sure about this game but heard enough good things to give a shot. BEST MOVE EVER! I am over 50 hours into a DS game and i'm not bored after the main game is over! Everything about this game is unique and refreshing. After you beat the game there is still much to do and accomplish. The combat does eventually get a little repetitive but different. This is absolutely a must buy!

A lot has been said about the difficulty of this game, but I actually think that Square has done an amazing job making the game as user friendly as possible. The game is only as deep as you want it to be, rewarding harcore players while not scaring off more casual players; an amazing tightrope walk.
The game is in fact very very easy if you play it as at your maxed out level on Normal. What is interesting is that you can change the difficulty and your level at will, making it only as hard as you want it to be. You get rewarded for playing it harder, of course, but the game really seems to want everyone to enjoy it and it doesn't feel like it's just punishing you for no reason (like a lot of japanese RPGs). Also your weapons level up when you're NOT playing the game! I know i've put down many RPGs and never came back to them because they were either too hard, or I thought I had forgotten the intricacies of the battle system. The game actually encourages short play sessions and makes you a little stronger every time you come back, which is brilliant I think.
Overall I hope that this is future of RPGs (and not FF12 which is barely a game at all) and it proves that Nintendo is the true home of innovative game mechanics.

Fun game with a lot of dynamics. There are a lot of gameplay components that can be a bit overwhelming at first, but the game eases you in fairly well. The story is well composed and well told. Highly recommended if you want a challenging rpg.

Honestly I have been un-enthusiastic about alot of the highly anticipated and hyped games for the DS system. I decided though that I would take a chance and try and fall into a game which is so highly stylized. I mean it, these characters look like hip-hop anime characters and I love it. The battle system at first seems a little tappy but soon the system evolves into a practical cornucopia of exciting and easy to use sub-interfaces. Blowing on it, touching it, slashes, dragging, its amazing. Please try this game.
Amazing! Never would have thought... June 12, 2008

I agree with the other reviews on this site. This game is truly one of a kind! I had never heard of this game before. After reading several reviews, however, I thought I would give it a shot. Wonderful story and gameplay. Definately keeps you engaged all the way through! I am much more of a casual game-player (being a young professional and all), but definately worth it!
